The Africa chair, designed by the iconic duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto, is a masterpiece of Italian design from the 1970s. What makes this particular piece of furniture so sought after is the sculptural, two-part backrest with its striking graphic lines that immediately draw attention. This chair is crafted from warm, solid wood and features refined dark inlays that accentuate the curves of the design. The seat is upholstered in supple black leather, creating a beautiful contrast with the rich brown tones of the wooden frame. The authentic Maxalto logo is subtly engraved into the wood, confirming the provenance and craftsmanship of this piece. The chair is in great vintage condition with an authentic patina that reflects the history of the furniture. This distinctive design comes into its own perfectly as a standalone sculptural element in a minimalist hallway, or as a characterful addition to an eclectic dining area. It is a timeless classic that effortlessly adds warmth and architectural flair to a modern interior. Photos to illustrate condition. Indicative dimensions in the details.
